We had a real blast in Tales for 2's & 3's today.  I seriously love reading Is Everyone Ready for Fun?  It is such a great interactive book and always is quite the hit whenever I use it in storytime. I particularly enjoy busting out my "irritated chicken" voice.  The other crowd favorite of the day was Mr. Jon's snake in the grass with scarves.  The kiddos thought it was a hoot!

This month is almost over!  We have one more week of this theme. "Walkin' Ol' Joe" was an absolute hit with the kiddos today.  They loved the "Whoaaaa" part.  We were using bells with this song, so I leaned back and stuck the bells up in the air on the "whoaaa" part.  The kids thought this was pretty funny.  Knock on the Door is always a hit with the kiddos.  They love getting to knock, wave to the animals, and make the animal noises.  Our book for today got a few giggles.  The kids loved saying "NO!"  I'm sure their grown-ups were really happy about that after storytime (sorry!)

We are flying through our spring programming! 

This month's theme is farm animals and we will be reading some of my favorite Jan Thomas books.

In honor of today's book, here is a cow joke:
What happens when a cow is exhausted?
It cowlapses.

These cute little animals are from a flannel set that I made back in October.  I created them out of construction paper, drew the details on with my "fancy" markers, and laminated them.

Today we sang about the rooster, horse, and cat.

I went to the farm the other day.                      (march in place)

And what do you think I heard it say?             (cup hand to ear)
Moo, Moo, Moo!

I went to the farm the other day.                       (march in place)

Quack, quack, quack!

When Ducks Get Up in the Morning
When ducks get up in the morning
They always say good day.
When ducks get up in the morning
They always say good day.
“Quack, quack! Quack, quack!”
That is what they say.
“Quack, quack! Quack, quack!”
That is what they say.

To the Farm

To the tune of “Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star”

Horses, donkeys, cows that moo,
Chickens, kittens, piglets too,
Fish that swim down in the pond,
Ducklings quacking all day long.
All these animals you can see
If you go to the farm with me.
Puppets: Knock on the Door
I learned this awesome ditty from one of my co-workers at our downtown location.  We have a big soft barn with animals that I use for this.  

Knock on the door
knock, knock, knock
Please come out
Come out!
Hello (animal name)
How are you?
Hello (animal name)
How are you?
(animal name) says (animal noise)

Today's animals were cow, horse, and hen.

Knock on the door
knock, knock, knock
Please come out
Come out!
Hello cow
How are you?
Hello cow
How are you?
Cow says "moo!"
